Resort to Love Soundtrack: Every Song in the 2021 Netflix Movie

• “Experience” by Victoria Monét with Khalid and SG Lewis (00:00:00): The Resort to Love soundtrack song plays over a Manhattan cityscape montage. DJ Teddy P hypes an exclusive listening party for the new Cre album, which proves to be a disastrous event for the film’s protagonist, Erica. The song complements glamorous close-up visuals of Milian’s character as she prepares for an evening party.
• “Body Pump” by Aluna (00:02:00): After receiving some much-needed life advice from a friend, Erica arrives at Cre’s listening party and carries herself with confidence. “Body Pump” is mostly used as a background club track, which fades away as Milian’s character thanks her friend for sharing Instagram videos online.
• “No One” by Christina Milian (00:04:00): Originally recorded by Alicia Keys (one of the film’s producers), “No One” is performed early on by a street musician. Erica asks the woman to stop playing because the track was supposed to be her wedding song. In a flashback sequence, Milian’s character sings “No One” at her fiancee Jason’s birthday party. She later performs the song again at 01:30:00 in Resort to Love.
• “Kifer to Pale Dense” by Jason Heerah and Otenik Groove (00:09:00): The Resort to Love soundtrack song kicks in when Erica arrives at Mauritius. She’s greeted by a local named Barrington (T.J. Power), who subsequently transports her to the hotel. The songs plays over an island montage and during a conversation between the aforementioned characters.
• “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” by Christina Milian (00:14:00): Erica performs the Dirty Dancing classic at a wedding reception in Mauritius. She cries throughout the song and startles the audience with her demeanor. The positive message of “(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” comedically contrasts with Erica’s public fail.
• “I Will Survive” by Christina Milian (00:16:00): After a heart-to-heart conversation with Barrington, Erica regains her confidence by focusing on a song that makes her feel good. She performs the disco classic “I Will Survive,” a song that encapsulates her story throughout Resort to Love. Gloria Gaynor originally recorded the 1978 hit.
• “Green” by KAINA (00:23:00): The Resort to Love soundtrack song scores the moment when Erica meets Caleb for the second time. She roams through her hotel and spots an August 2019 issues of The New Yorker, just before she is surprised by Walls’ character. The lyric “grass could be green” foreshadows a future romance.
• “Find Someone Like You” by Christina Milian (00:45:00): When Jason realizes that he might’ve made a mistake by leaving Erica, he broods and stares at her during a live performance of Snoh Aalegra’s “Find Someone Like You.” The song’s themes align with the perspective of Pharoah’s character, who ultimately accepts some harsh truths about his former fiancee.
• “Super Bass” by Christiani Pitts (00:49:00): In a comedic moment, Beverly sings a karaoke version of Nicki Minaj’s hit single. It’s an impressive live performance in Resort to Love, one that makes Erica smile and allows her to better appreciate her ex-boyfriend’s fiancee. “Super Bass” reached #3 on the Billboard charts in 2011.
• “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Christina Milian (00:52:00): Erica performs the Resort to Love soundtrack song during a performance spotlight in Resort to Love. By this moment, she’s beginning to have strong feelings for Caleb but doesn’t necessarily realize that Jason hasn’t fully moved on from the past. Meghan Trainor originally released the song in 2016.
• “Dance in Place (Treasure Fingers Remix)” by CLAVVS (00:54:00): “Dance in Place (Treasure Fingers Remix)” scores a club sequence in Resort to Love. As wedding guests groove to the music, Erica receives a text from Jason. She then leaves to privately meet with her ex-fiancee.
• “Wind Beneath My Wings” by Jeryl Prescott Gallien (01:06:00): In another comedic moment, Jason’s mother, Naomi, performs “Wind Beneath My Wings” at a dinner event. She embarrasses her children but feels inspired to sing in order to convey the most appropriate words. Bette Midler originally recorded the song for the 1988 film Beaches.
• “Lemonade” by Brooke Alexx (01:29:00): The Resort to Love soundtrack song plays during a climactic wedding sequence in Resort to Love. It can be heard just as Beverly and Jason share their first kiss as a married couple. The chorus line “You taste like lemonade” correlates with the couple’s happiness.
• “Better Than This” by Evie Irie (01:33:00): As Resort to Love ends, Erica passes on a music opportunity to enjoy some beach time with her new boyfriend, Caleb. She states that she’s about to “take another leap” and jumps from a cliff into the ocean. As the song title suggests, Erica realizes that she’s found true happiness.
